GOING: H

DeAraugo & Lea Electrical Maiden Plate 1600m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Mighty Mac has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. AUTUMN MYSTERY (9) has been edging towards a breakthrough and looks well-placed to strike after a strong closing second at Sandown-Lakeside over 1400m, charging late from the back. With even luck he's the one to beat. MOVE THE TORANA (7) caught the eye fresh at Geelong when rattling home into fourth. Will take benefit from that hit-out and is drawn to settle much closer. Finds a competitive race but is capable of featuring if she takes the next step. KAZUNGULA (3) resumes after showing ability over staying trips last prep, including a close second at Geelong. Needs to kick off somewhere and the mile is better than any. Can make his presence felt. AKARI SPIRIT (8) is a Fastnet Rock colt on debut for Team Hayes worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Autumn Mystery to win.
